In July, Ripple secured a partial victory in its legal dispute with the U.S. SEC when Judge Analisa Torres ruled that XRP should not be classified as a security.
While this ruling marked a partial win against the SEC’s allegations of unregistered security sales by Ripple, the legal battle is still ongoing, with the SEC filing an interlocutory appeal following the decision.
In a recent interview, Versan expressed confidence that Ripple will ultimately emerge victorious in the ongoing case, anticipating a complete legal triumph. he added.
The only thing regulators can do now is strike a balance between persevering integrity and allowing disruptive technology to thrive
Despite Ripple’s initial partial victory, XRP experienced a significant 40% drop in value over a span of just two months. There are rumors circulating that Ripple is gearing up to announce its inaugural IPO on September 29, positioning itself as a leading candidate for mainstream adoption following Bitcoin.
Can Ripple Become as Big As Amazon or Google?
Of course, this looks to be quite a monumental target for Ripple, and expecting it to cross over a trillion-dollar in valuation. But wealth manager Clive Thompson believes that this is very much possible.
He envisions a scenario where Ripple could become so influential that even government intervention might prove challenging. Furthermore, Ripple’s resolute stance against the SEC is gaining considerable attention. Experts widely view this as a significant development in the ongoing Coinbase vs. SEC legal battle. Many laud Ripple’s decision to file a motion against what they perceive as the SEC’s unjust practices and its scrutiny of Gary Gensler’s role in the crypto industry’s slowdown.
The wealth manager has expressed his unwavering support for the judge’s ruling that XRP is not a security, reinforcing his belief that Ripple will ultimately triumph, even in the face of the SEC’s appeal. This perspective underscores a growing sense of optimism regarding Ripple’s potential to reshape the financial landscape.
As said, Ripple’s native crypto XRP lost all of the gains after the court ruling. The XRP price for now is holding just above $0.50 and is trading at a market cap of $26.49 billion.
